Friday Favorites {#222}

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello and happy Friday!

For sure, TGIF! Although, I’ve been in school for a month, this was the first five day week with students! We all made it. Hooray!

As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

Well, no pictures, but going back to last Friday, we didn’t have school which was so nice. Usually, teachers have to work, but we could “flex” our time. It was so nice not setting an alarm and then watching Real Housewives OC while sipping my coffee.

I took Hayden to get a haircut, and then we picked up Jimmy Johns for lunch. The rest of the day was busy, but it was still a good day off.

Saturday morning we were up early for Hayden’s first official high school cross country meet. It was so hot, but both the boys and girls teams did great. Hayden is running varsity, and he had a top 10 finish to kick off his high school cross country career.

Post race smiles!

Saturday was non-stop with volleyball as well. Hadley had two games that I missed when I was at Hayden’s race, but then they had three more games in the afternoon.

Saturday night, we finally watched Twisters. I rented it on Apple TV, and we all thought it was a pretty good movie. I had hoped for us all to see it in the theater this summer, but the $20 price tag from Apple was definitely less expensive then if we all went to the movie theater.

On Sunday, we celebrated my nephew’s birthday. We can’t believe he’s 10….and we appreciated that he wanted to share his cake with us 😉

Our evenings this week were filled with volleyball!

From pink night to support Breast Cancer…

…to playing tough and winning their first district match up…

…It’s been a fun and busy week of volleyball for Hadley…and they are off to a pretty solid start.

A couple of more Hadley pics…

She sent me this pic from the cafeteria…she loves her ramen! haha

…and I had to document her wearing her new jeans. When I tell you the search for “the perfect pair” was harder than I ever expected, I’m not lying. But.. after a few mall visits and going into quite a few stores, she found a pair she loved at The Buckle.

On some game days, they dress up…and jeans count as dressing up, apparently!

Favorite Mom Meme:

This is so true!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

Lots of memories from the younger days this week including Hayden’s first ever cross country race in 2018. He was in 3rd grade!

Then:

Now:

These two besties started playing volleyball that same year…

…and look at them now!

  2. You’re going to be so busy this fall! But, it’s so fun that they are now in high school and thriving. I first noticed your blog because of Hayden’s cool glasses. I thought he was so cute! Ha! We’ve all watched all these bloggers’ kids grow up so much! Such a weird thing, but also so cool!

    I love Hadley’s dress up outfit. I am not sure we even have a Buckle anymore. Oxmoor is the old people mall and Mall St. Matt’s is the young. I can’t even go in there anymore. I feel like a foreigner. Ha!

  3. That does sound like such a busy week but a good one! I definitely relate to that meme of asking about how their day went… sometimes the explanations are just much too long and others there is just nothing!
